Queensland

I flew up to Queensland with my mum and dad last Wednesday, where we received beautiful weather... for the first day.

 At Mooloolooba on the way to our destination
 Organic dinner 
The view from our apartment
 We went to a lovely restaurant; Rock Salt and this was one of the yummiest meals I have ever had!
We then received 4 days of torrential rain with flood warnings. The rain then stopped on Monday when we were leaving, and the rain headed south down to Sydney. Our flight home was meant for 2pm, we flew around 3:30pm and took a detour to Newcastle airport as Sydney only had one runway running. At Newcastle airport we got off the tar mat and had to walk about 10 minutes in the rain to the airport! We got home around 11pm. What should have been an hour and a half flight took about 9 hours!
